Sarah's Freakishly Large Recs List
First, the fanfic.
Harry Potter
This is wikdsushi's fanfic. I'd rec just about everything on the site (she is, after all, the author of both the hilariously funny Harry Potter and the Mai Tai of Doom and the initially incredibly silly yet eventually horridly disturbing To Ride the Electric Serpent.) However, what I most love Sushi for is her angst-- especially Civil War (omgIlovethisfictodeath), which can be found at her website, and is truly worth the read. (Word of warning: the collected parts of this fic are somewhere in the vicinity of 3MB, just to give you an idea of the length.) I can rant about Sushi for ages, so I'm just going to stop here.
Sam. Samsamsamsamsam. (or, you know, copperbadge.) His Stealing Harry is what you wish was canon, because it's just so damn good. His fic is currently at sam_storyteller. I'm reading his newest fic, Cartographer's Craft, and while I was not incredibly excited the first time that I read it (although I don't remember why), the post-HBP re-write has me alternately in stitches and tears (also, it features two parings that usually make me go eeewww, and does them so that not only do I like them, I'm actually really, really wishing they'd GET ON WITH IT ALREADY.) Sam's fics are all about the Remus-love-- I adore Sweet Home, which begins here.
ivyblossom writes lots of H/D. scarletlilly105 asked for recs, so here they are:
Haven is one of the few H/D fics I really, truly like. (It's the sequel to Origins, but I read it without reading the prequel, and it was fine.)
Simple is just amazing. And wonderful. And full of angst.
Blue Vase is very quiet. I adore it.
Acuta Sinistra writes Snarry. I like it. All of it.
More Snarry: On Wednesday. It's in a similar vein as Blue Vase, but Snarry. And there are "food, owls, and taxes."
Three Months is utterly heartbreaking, and very short. "Harry is dead. Then he isn't. Snape struggles to cope." (The link may redirect to the main site-- you can find the fic by poking around.)
Gundam Wing
First, I have to rec Velvet, the 42-Part Lemon. Okay.
That done with, these are some fics that I've either loved for a long time, or have recently discovered. I get most of these off of Gundam Wing Addiction.
Although she's no longer in the fandom, I love Lys ap Adin, especially Reaching Towards Understanding, a really amazingly poetic fic (don't be scared at the number of chapters-- each one is quite short.) Mission Suburbia is a really, really silly post-wars 1x2 fic, featuring some of the best OC neighbors ever.
Sol 1056 is really cool. I only recently started reading her stuff, after seeing it nominated all over Nananshi-- and it's totally worth every single one of those nominations. I could rec everything, but I think I'm going to limit myself: Broken Jade is an amazing 1x3 fic (a pairing I never thought I'd like, but done really well here.) Heed the author's notes at the beginning-- this is not a happy fic, although it is psychologically intriguing.
Nothing Like the Sun features my favourite Quatre ever. OMG. Again, really long, but entirely worth it. This is a Quatre-centric fic, which begins when he decides to temporarily leave the Winners and join the losers start college. Love this fic. Love it, love it, love it.
If people want something that isn't on here (no doubt someone will), let me know and I will dig it up. Honestly, I'm better with direction (scarletlilly105, please remind me as to what you like, and I will find it.)
I think I'm going to do a music list and a book list.
